Point taken. But Linux kernel vs Norton userspace? About the third time I've said so on this list, but I just turn off the _services_ that I don't use, and people get denied anyway, with no special firewall. What's the big deal, if I'm not running Windows?

I really don't think anyone is arguing that Linux isn't more secure then Windows, but you're discussing apples and oranges here. Most people are NOT using Linux, therefore the average discussion is, by default, going to be based on Windows unless they've specified otherwise. Jumping into these discussions and citing Linux examples is pretty much useless, especially when the thread was someone asking how to install/configure a piece of WINDOWS software on a WINDOWS based system. Shout the advantages of Linux as much as you'd like, in threads ON linux, but what is the point of trying to muddy up a thread that has absolutely nothing to do with Linux, just because you feel it's a better system ? This would be like me going onto a board discussing how to do engine repair on a Honda and throwing out tips on how to fix a Dodge, in every thread !
